P90X Workout Review

I got back from a week down in Cancun, Mexico this past Saturday. I spent a week there with my girlfriend and parents at the time share my parents own. Things have either changed a lot since I went down there or I am just getting older now and going out every night to the clubs or bars just does not do it for more anymore. Prices have gone up on just about everything. I am starting to think that Cancun is no longer a deal anymore because so many Americans go there now that they adjust all of their prices to what we pay for things back in the states. I hope all of the college kids who plan on going down there for spring break bring a couple hundred more dollars in spending money when they go.

The one thing I thought could not change, the beach, did. It use to be very sandy with good waves that could be reached on a boogie board with flippers. Now the whole beach had rocks showing up everywhere. It was difficult getting into the ocean and now there was no sand bar to walk out on. It went from rocks to 6 feet deep in a matter of steps. No more 6 foot waves rolling in either. There was no point trying to boogie board or body surf those because you would be landing in the rocks. Disappointing to say the least.

With my main options of exercising taken out from underneath me I looked for other ones. The gym that our resort has went from free to $8 a day. No thanks. Its not that I could not afford it, its just that it was always included for all families who were apart of the resort. I think the owners of the Royal Resorts are getting a little greedy as their maintenance fees have increased too.

Since I did not bring down my P90X DVDs to workout I really did not do all that much of exercising. A couple laps in the pool here and there and a round of golf at the Iberostar golf course was all that I did. I guess it was not that bad because some times a week off is good. I definitely need to get back into the swing of things because I just feel out of it. Rarely do I go 3 days without some sort of exercise and to go a week is out of the ordinary.

I'll be heading down to Cancun, Mexico for the next week with my folks and my girlfriend. I love the snow because I ski and snowboard. Unfortunately, here in Michigan, the mountains are hills and not that enjoyable to somebody who has lived in Colorado and been to places like Heavenly, Kirkwood, Vail, Jackson Hole, Whistler Blackcomb, and Mt. Hood to name a few. The weather has been really cold the last two weeks. A change from this:

To This

for a week should not be all that bad. I spend most of my time in the ocean boogie boarding. I should be in good enough shape from doing P90X all the time to handle the waves again this year. There is a strong under tow right in front of our resort and it takes a lot out of me every year. Swimming in the ocean for 7 days, doing some running on the beach, and a round of golf will be my workouts for the week. Hopefully I don't blind anybody with my non tanned Beach Body. Bring on the Mexican food, cervezas, and Margaritas. Will probably be a week until I update the site. Don't miss me.
